Can you use the same music book as a regular trumpet

Yes I believe so. My son's band teacher does not like him to use the pocket trumpet, because he says you have to blow in it differently then a regular one. He does not want my son to get used to the small one. That is the only difference I see.

not sure, I returned this trumpet because it is not as good as regular trumpet

yes you can, you have to read the book first how to do it, but its very simple, i do it all the time.

It depends on the bore of the baritone, which can be small, medium(European), or large. If you're using a school horn, it's probably small shank. If it is small it's interchangeable with most trombone mouthpieces.

Well it's not exactly a book. It comes with long piece of paper (printed on both sides) that tells how to hold the mallets and includes 10 songs. The notes are color coded to match the colors on the bars.

No. Once you explain how to use it to get the different information there will not be a problem. Got this last Christmas for a 5 yr old boy and 7 yr old girl and they love using it. They especially love hearing the anthems from the different nations.

I would advise you to wait on the trumpet until he is about 10 years old. He can have fun with a recorder. Yamaha makes a good plastic one. Since he is a little guy, I'd suggest getting him a soprano recorder. It's not very expensive and if he really wants to play, this will provide a way to get started.

You can normally get it here www.gtd-usa.com however I just checked and it seems to be down. I have this system and can make a pdf after music practice tonight. I'll stick it on my website and send you a link.James

Yes, it can--I do not do so but. . .. Your manual is hardly clear about anything and then usually inaccurate, lacking in necessary "essential" details, or just not relevant to using the program. But what the manual does contain is a service number: telephone them and they are amazingly "present" and willing to walk anyone--this techno-dinosaur included--through some of the most difficult of exercises. The result is always equal to the expected high quality of the Finale line. As someone who works in ethnomusicology however, my world of sound requires a few more options--like following Glass or the Kronos Quartet-like composition, or better yet, having an extended list of instrumentation (say, for Asian instrumentation, e.g., gamellin (sp), the Korean horizontal flute, etc.). I can dream. But as I do so, do call the customer service agent for Finale. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised. JAW

What do you mean no instructions? On how to play it? It's for beginner trumpet students

Hey Chip, as long as you know what notes you want to tune to it shouldn't be a problem. The tuner uses the vibration through the instrument to tell you what your tuning is.

Yes. You have a total of 6 sounds. To use the fanfare sounds you need to press the mouthpiece as well as one of the buttons.

Yes, but only if the music is written in a sharp or flat. Example if music is written in f# all f's are f#. But sometimes it will change to natural f it will be a little difficult, unless you have the key and do it fast. As you know harpsicle is is key for "C" only. That's my two cents

Hi! Thanks for the question. Just add the trumpet/cornet peg to your order and you should be good to go! Please let us know if you have any additional questions. http://www.amazon.com/Hercules-DS501B-Trumpet-Cornet-PEG/dp/B000EENAMC/ref=sr_1_57?m=AJRBH136ZIOA5&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1378236242&sr=1-57

I'm not sure what you mean by "compatible" since the tuner simply works by displaying the nearest (single) note played along with the frequency in Hz with the "needle" line showing whether the note played is sharp or flat with respect to that. I had to look up what a "Chromatic C harmonica" is, but since it plays a chromatic scale, then yes, the display will show an appropriate name for the note (e.g. 466 Hz would show "A#" ). If you are wondering about the range of the tuner, I'm pretty sure that it would be fine for any harmonica. The lowest string of a cello (two octaves below middle C) was too low for it, but I doubt a harmonica would play notes that low.

I think you are asking about a Bb (flat) trumpet and a C trumpet. Those refer to the keys the instrument is made in. Almost all music is written for a Bb trumpet. The C trumpet is sometimes used in orchestra. Another use of the C trumpet is to avoid transposition. If you are buying a trumpet for a beginner, buy a Bb trumpet. And remember... buy a high quality instrument. A high quality instrument will sound better, will have very few mechanical problems and retains it's resale value.

Nope. It just has the Dvorak letters. They're the same font as the normal keys underneath.

Yes you can, although I haven't done so yet. You can find apps for doing this at https://play.google.com/store/search?q=audio+books&c;=apps.
